Dunn Quote

Quote from Dunn's Jesus Remembered: When looking at figures across a historical gulf like Jesus, "the absence of some element of strangeness probably indicates that the depth of historical distance and the degree of historical difference have been underestimated" (49).

One doesn't have to study Dunn or other scholars to know this is true, just talk to various believers about what they think Jesus was about...
